Title: Method for introducing pharmaceutical drugs and nucleic acids into skeletal muscle
Inventor: LOMO TERJE
IPC: A61N1/30
Filed: 1998-04-03
Granted: 2004-12-14
Abstract: A method is disclosed for delivering molecules such as pharmaceutical drugs and nucleic acids into skeletal muscle in vivo. The pharmaceutical drug or nucleic acid is first injected into the muscle at one or multiple sites. Immediately, or shortly after injection, electrodes are placed flanking the injection site and a specific amount of electrical current is passed through the muscle. The electrical current makes the muscle permeable, thus allowing the pharmaceutical drug or nucleic acid to enter the cell. The efficiency of transfer permits robust immune responses using DNA vaccines and produces sufficient secreted proteins for systemic biological activity to be observed. The use of a drug for manufacturing a medicament to be used in the delivery method as well as a device for performing the method and the use of such a device is also disclosed.
Patent CA-2286657-C (CA)
Inventor: VAN DER MEYDEN HENDRIKUS JOHAN
IPC: E04H4/16
Filed: 1998-03-16
Granted: 2004-06-01
Abstract: The systems include an automatic swimming pool cleaner (10) incorporating on e or more curved wipers protruding from its lower surface. The wipers and flat bottom of the cleaner induce a vortex as fluid flows to its central inlet, entraining debris in the flow. A fluted throat surrounding the inlet additionally assists the interior of the base of the cleaner in retaining debris when opened for cleaning, additionally providing an improved flow path for enhanced debris pick-up. Alternate embodiments incorporate a rudder and resistance plate for enhancing movement of the cleaners in the presence of obstacles. Also disclosed is a valve useful for controlling and indicating the rate of fluid flow to a cleaner. Included within the valve is a plunger attached to a spring, with the spring force opposing fluide flow through the valve. Flow sufficient to overcome the spring force compresses the sprin g, however, thereby moving the plunger within the tube and providing a dynamic indication of the rate of fluid flow. A diffuser and flu id release ports permit the valve to be adjusted to achieve a desired flow rate.

Granted: 2003-03-25
Abstract: The Inclined plane (22) is a earth engaging tool arranged and constructed to be used as one or several in a set of inclined planes (22). A structural implement (28) replacing the sharp pointed lip (Fig 3) and teeth (30) arranged with one or a set of inclined planes (22) can be constructed and arranged for optimum encounter of earth excavation to fracture, cleave, and uplift earth usually, but not always, in unison.   An expected application would be found on a dragline, shovel, a loader type bucket, or other earth engaging implement.   It is a robust, one piece, ascending, rectangular, durable metal slope, arranged at approximately 50 degrees of encounter. Its thickness is 5% to 10%, of its length and its width almost half its length.     Its leading edge (20, of Fig 5,6,8,and 9) and approximately the first one third of the inclined plane (22), is optionally constructed for optimum earth engagement. Some optional arrangements include, leading edge pointed (20a) leading edge narrowed (20b), and a wear edge (27) added to the leading edge (20) of inclined plane (22). This thickened edge is for use in consolidated and abrasive earth.  Its leading edge (20) initiates the fracturing and cleaving and is also constructed and arranged for optimum encounter of earth excavation.   The final approximate two thirds of inclined plane (22), up lifts excavated earth above and beyond its attachment to an implement (28). This arrangement offers stabilizing forces, especially those, which happen during maximum effort. To help compensate the bending forces of the forward overhang attached at an approximate midsection support, the incline plane (22) has an optional attached rearward overlapping contact to the implement. The approximately midsection support is shown attached to the implement (28) by a mounting socket (32, Fig 2,7, and 8) or by a fastener (23, Fig 5,6, and 9) system incorporating a thrust block (25).     An accompanying clean up edge (24), is approximately half the length of inclined plane (22), and one is located on each side of inclined plane (22, Fig 5 and 6). Clean up edges (24) fill the gaps between the inclined planes (22). They are constructed to attach to the implement (28) with their upper extremities approximately the same height as the inclined plane (22). Clean up edges (24) attach integral to the inclined plane, or they may simply adjoin attached only to the implement (28).   Working more than one inclined plane (22) in unison and arranged to bridge cleave, results in little to no abrasion to the implement (28), superior excavation performance, and excellent staying.   This Innovative Inclined Plane Earth Engaging Tool can require considerable less energy or horse power to perform the same task.
